Free Jimmy Carr

This is a discussion on Free Jimmy Carr within the The Foyer forums, part of the Off the Grid category; Apart from some second hand jokes and that strange look what did he do wrong? Any tax laws broken? If ...

Possibly underpaying tax under the dreadedly toothless IR35 legislation lol.Otherwise he's basically just elected to book his gains in a private company and pay CT rate on them until he decides to distribute - which he'll undoubtedly do through a shifty off-shore loan/pensions/trust deal to swerve income and repatriation.

In short, he's not doing anything that a lot of TV personalities do. I used to have a list of some of the more well-known ones that do it but I've no idea why he's been singled out.
